levaquin
I went back to the doctor and he gave me levofloxacin for tonsillitis but my throat is still sore on the 8th day on levofloxacin. In september i had a lung infection which i used levofloxacin for and i was coughing up greenish phlegm and it worked for that. I did smoke blunts for that time in september but I've stopped smoking weed for about a month now, and everytime i would smoke weed i would get itchy.
I cannot tell you why your doctor treated you or what you are being treated for. There are many reasons for prescribing levofloxacin.
The questions you are asking should be directed to the doctor who is treating you.
Hello,
my boyfriend, who lives in another country, has been sick for a few weeks. It started with what seemed to be a cold or flu, but he has been getting worse. His throat has been very sore. A couple weeks ago a doctor gave him antibiotics without doing a test, the prescription was for 5 days, unfortunately he doesn't remember which antibiotic it was. His throat was still hurting and he said he could see pus, so I told him he should get tested for strep.
The strep group B can be found as a sore throat or a normal vaginal flora (except when you are pregnant it can cause problems for the baby) and sterile body sites or wounds. Strep group B may or may not cause a sore throat. If it does it isn't serious but sometimes they treat you for it because of the pain. I'm sorry I don't understand which two drugs you are talking about taking? I see you are going to take ciprofloxacin and which of the others on this list?
Three days ago I had a full STD screening done wherein I gave a urine sample and a throat swab. Yesterday I gave blood samples for early detection STD tests using RNA PCR.
My urine and throat swab PCR test results came back yesterday. I'm clear of Gonnorrhea and Clamydia however I tested positive for Mycoplasma Hominis and Mycoplasma Genitalium. I thought these couldn't be acquired by oral sex but I guess they can.
Usually seven days is required to see clinical benefit in severe sinusitis infection. If it stays worse for more than a week then further evaluation is required.
Ideally, endoscopically-guided culture could be performed to determine the effective antibiotic and should be started without delay. As an empirical therapy, its better to start with augmentin, this is already been done in your case. Otherwise levofloxacin can be effective alternative.
The Levofloxacin is for the Staph infection and show help cure the staph. You need to take the pills as prescribed and finish them at the end of the course. Try to gently wash the area with soap and water. Don't scrub it and don't use a wash rag as it is too rough. Wash your hands after touching it. The Levofloxacin won't work on the yeast. It is an antibiotic and works on the bacteria only. If you have yeast you can try one of those over the counter 3 day anti yeast treatments.
chances are the infection never really went away, if it was gonorreah or syphilis it probably relapsed...
doxycycline 100 mg twice per day for 7 days from 30 days ago, levofloxacin once per day for 5 days (I think; dosage forgotten)
And the question is: does this sound like chlamydia? or any other STD in fact? I'm thinking it isn't by the timeframe of last genital sexual contact, and that I took BOTH doxycyclien and levofloxacin which are effective against Chlamydia trachomatis. But I just want to ask here to see what you guys think about the symptoms related to my testes.
We usually can respond to questions/concerns regarding diabetes. Levofloxacin is an antibiotic used to treat an bacterial infection, not diabetes.
Call your doctor for medical advice about Levofloxacin side effects. Be sure to inform the doctor of all medications, supplements, vitamins and aspirins you are taking.
The lack of response to levofloxacin, a broad spectrum antibiotic, is additional evidence that no STD or other bacterial infection explains your symptoms; chlamydia would have been cured if you had it.
I suggest you continue to follow up with the urologist. You can be sure no STD or any other infection acquired from the escort.
He did not examine my penis, but did examine my throat as I was complaining of a raw throat as well. He did prescribe 750mg levofloxacin and 200mg clotrimazole. Seeing as how I do not have any health insurance and the state run hospitals are pathetic, he said that a blood test would be quite expensive and that I should take the medication and report back to him if my condition did not improve.
I believed I had epididmytitis earlier. I took levaquin. Later, I wondered if there could be any chance of contracting HIV. Anyhow, I know that the only way is to get tested, but while waiting for a good time to get tested, as it's still a bit early to get an accurate result, I'd like to ask the question in the title. I know that levaquin is for killing bacteria and that HIV is a virus. Yet, can levaquin indirectly prevent ars symptoms from showing up?
I tested negative for urine routine and culture twice now. I am on third type of antibiotic Levofloxacin. Doctors say I have UTI.This is my second course of antibiotics in one month but sympyoms are recurring in last one month. I read that HSV can cause UTI. I haven't got any relief with antibiotics. My Igg for hsv 1 was positive 3.15 and hsv 2 after one month of exposure was negative. Should I do another test this week that's at 7th week.
Last year i have a case which ghorrhea, they give me a injection, infact i have 4 injection of antibiotics i forgot whats the name but it doesn't help. They give me different types of antibiotics but still, my discharge is still there.
Got retested a month after, chlamydia tested positive again. They prescribed me Levofloxacin for 7 days, 1 pill a day, of which i took the last pill monday. Today we are wednesday. Now one of the symptoms i was having was a slight sticky clear discharge at the tip of my penis. This symptom was not present during the whole 7 days i took the levofloxacin. But now 2 days after i took that last pill, that symptom is present again.
You see, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and Moxifloxacin are all in the same class of antibiotics and bacteria creates resistance to classes of antibiotics, not individual antibiotics.
Have you been diagnosed with syphilis through a blood test?
